King Size Mattresses

About King Mattresses

King size mattresses measure 76-inches by 80-inches.

A standard king size, also known as Eastern King, is the largest of the standard size beds. Measuring 16-inches wider than a queen, the king size mattress is preferred by most couples. More personal sleeping space is proven to improve sleep quality, because each person is less likely to interrupt their partner.

King Mattress Size

A regular king size mattress is wider than a Cal King. A California King is 4-inches narrower and 4-inches longer than a regular king size. This size is mostly for taller people.

What is a split king mattress?

A split king is when you put two Twin XL mattresses side-by-side, and it is most commonly used with adjustable bed bases to allow each sleeper the ability to raise the head of the bed separately. Most king mattresses are adjustable bed base compatible.

King Size vs. Cal King Size

A standard king size is 76-inches wide by 80-inches long, almost a square. A Cal King size is 4-inches narrower and 4 inches longer measuring 72-inches by 84-inches. Regular king linens and bedding are much easier to come by, so unless you are tall, or have an odd shaped bedroom, you may want to stay with a regular king size mattress. 

If your bedroom has enough space, then you will enjoy the benefits of a standard king size bed.
